Charles Oliveira vs. Michael Chandler Odds
- Oliveira -130
- Chandler +110
Charles Oliveira’s UFC odds are slightly favored going into this fight and bettors should take a deep dive into this one before swaying his way. Not to discredit anything that Oliveira has done in his career, but Michael Chandler is not to be messed with.
Chandler made his UFC debut in just his last fight against a seasoned fighter in Dan Hooker and proved his worth right away as he knocked him out at just the 2:30 mark of the first round. Also, in his 27 pro fights, he has gone for 10 knockouts and 7 submissions.
Looking at Oliveira, in his 38 fights, he has only had 8 knockouts but has gone for an impressive 19 total submissions. Although impressive, this could be tough on Oliveira and his submission specialties as Michael Chandler has never been defeated by submission in his entire career.
With that being said, bettors can be very comfortable betting on Michael Chandler to come out on top although being the underdog.

Beneil Dariush vs. Tony Ferguson Odds
- Dariush -175
- Ferguson +145
This co-main event of the night between Beneil Dariush and Tony Ferguson has main event potential written all over it. Dariush is going into the fight as the slight favorite, to win being that he has won his last six fights which have led to his 20-4-1 record.
Bettors should be taking Tony Ferguson seriously though despite losing his last two fights. Ferguson still sits at a 26-5 record which includes 12 knockouts and 9 submissions. Not to mention, his last two fights mark the first time in his career that he has lost consecutive fights. That being said, Ferguson is certainly coming out strong in this one looking to snap his two-fight skid.
As for Dariush, his fighting style is more conservative being that in his 25 fights, he has just five knockouts and 8 submissions. However, in his last five fights, he has been on an absolute tear as four of the five have come by way of knockout or submission.
All in all, Dariush would need to keep up with Ferguson in this one in which if he does, he could be in line for his seventh straight win, but if Ferguson comes out strong looking to end his skid which many should anticipate, bettors could be in line for a nice payout.
